Meet Our Team
Holly Kenny- Artist & Owner
Flamework artist and metalsmith Holly Kenny has been creating artisan glass jewelry, giftware and home decor since 2008. She teaches both beginner and intermediate flamework and metals classes in her studio and at Snow Farm - the New England Craft Program - in Williamsburg, Massachusetts.
Holly opened the studio and gift shop in 2017, naming it after her daughter, whose initials are "LCK". Her young adult daughter and son provide an endless source of inspiration, creativity and laughter along the journey. Holly finds glass to be such a fluid, captivating medium and is always intrigued to discover what shapes and forms the glass will take as it changes from one physical state to another.
Her favorite part of her work is when the glass begins to ‘speak’, pushing the boundaries of what is possible. She loves to translate this imagination and possibility into a unique piece of wearable or functional art for her clients. She welcomes custom orders.
